Vaccine against infection induced by herpes virus, recombinant virus genome, use of the genome and method for limiting risks of inception and manifestation of the disease

摘要

The invention relates to the field of so-called host cell-associated herpesviruses such as Marek's disease like virus (MDV) of poultry and of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) of man and to vaccination against disease caused by these viruses. The invention provides a vaccine directed against an infection caused by an herpesvirus that is essentially host cell associated comprising a recombinant viral genome derived from said herpesvirus, said genome allowing recombination essentially free of said host cell.
